Our Mission:

We will meet the faith
and spiritual needs of the
community by inviting
and growing disciples.  
We will provide an
environment that
promotes Christ’s mission
through worship,
education,
and outreach.
Bracken United Methodist Church was established in 1871 as Zions
Kirche in southern Comal County. Its unique position at the juncture of
Comal, Guadalupe, and Bexar counties allows this rapidly growing
congregation to remember its tradition out of the German immigration
to Texas, its Methodist Christian heritage, and its role in shaping the
community and surrounding area through Christian witness. We are
passionate about offering people the opportunity for spiritual growth,
creating relationships with people, and making a difference in the
community and world.
You are invited to experience God among the oak trees, tradition, and
Christian faith of an excited and exciting place where God is moving
people toward a powerful proclamation of Good News for living in God’s
kingdom.
Offering strength on your spiritual journey, Bracken is a warm and
friendly place to worship, study, and serve Christ while providing an
exciting mix of United Methodist tradition and contemporary relevance.
Through worship services and existing ministries, Bracken is on a
journey that is grounded in Christ, building on tradition, and growing
ministries.
We look forward to building connections with people as we continue the
journey of faith.
